How to Opt Out and Remove Your Data from LexisNexis
LexisNexis does provide an opt-out mechanism, but only in very specific circumstances—such as for victims of threats, law enforcement officers, or public officials. For most consumers, removal options are extremely limited. The opt-out process often requires documentation and manual submission, and many datasets cannot be fully excluded from LexisNexis’s systems.
For detailed instructions, view our Opt-Out Guide.

How LexisNexis Collects and Aggregates Consumer Data
LexisNexis builds detailed consumer profiles by pulling from public records, credit bureaus, court systems, and licensing bodies. Their data aggregation capabilities enable clients to access insights across criminal history, financial behavior, and personal affiliations.
Data Harvesting and Gov. Supplied Records
In addition to purchasing data from commercial vendors, LexisNexis uses APIs and large-scale integrations to ingest information directly from police databases, government institutions, utility companies, and insurance providers. This often happens without the consumer’s awareness or consent.
Difficulty of Removal
Because LexisNexis operates under legal exemptions and services institutional clients, it is one of the most difficult brokers to remove data from. Even if removal is approved, some records may reappear through ongoing feeds. Tools like mePrism provide persistent monitoring and streamlined requests to maximize your privacy protections across data ecosystems.
